I am probably the biggest AI fan you can meet. Fan since day 1, voted for all my favorites! I am the complete opposite of an artist (I'm a chemist, lol). I appreciate those that can sing.

I liked a few. Leah stood out. Justin was great too. Guy in the green shirt and the two younger girls I can remember too.

The last whole season I watched was the year Ruben beat out Clay. LOL! I did watch the last few episodes over the past couple years.

The last girl last night was fantastic. I also liked the green shirt guy, and a couple of the girls were great. The guys that were harmonizing together before their auditions were good, too.

The dude in the black glasses was an azz! LOL!

I plan to watch all of this season. It's Simon's last season with AI.

This is what I posted on my blog today:

American Idol is baaaaack and the first auditions were AWESOME……… NOT! If that’s what’s expected this season, that’s promising. This was a really boring start. I consider myself a “fan” of American Idol, just because it’s really entertaining. My favorite part, like most of you, is the interviews. I just love making fun of people, who doesn’t really hehe But Boston left me dry, I probably giggled a few times, raised a few eyebrows but nothing to remember.

You can definitely tell Paula is not there anymore I’m 35 years old, I spent my teenage years listening to Paula. You can laugh all you want, but she was the “shit” back then hehe. Anyway, I miss her already but I’ll try to get over it. One thing I noticed though and I’m gonna say it, some of the contestants were sooooo fake, it was unbelievable. They probably went through all the Boston’s auditions and didn’t get anything interesting so they asked a few “actors” to come in and act stupid/crazy which is probably what happened with that stupid ass girl, Janet, the first Audition. She acted so fake it was ridiculous. There is no way this was a real audition. Another one that I think was fake was that scary dude with the black glasses, Clark Kent meets Dumbass, Andrew. I mean come on, even the most retarded person would not act like that for an audition. He was really annoying acting like he was “mad” or something. Stupid.

Then you have “THE” flamboyant gay guy (Below with blue shirt). Typical queen, loud and obnoxious. Not my favorite type of guy… at all. Thank God the bitch is out. You know, that’s what pisses me off, gays always have a hard time out there, so why do those guys have to feel the need to act like “retarted girls”, enough with the cliches alright?! Grow some balls and act like a man. There I said it The only contestant I liked was Joshua, the “nice” guy (Below with green shirt). To me, not only he’s cute but his shyness makes him adorable. He’s the only one who grabbed my attention, not with his voice but the person he is. Well ok, we just saw him for like 3 minutes but he’s got that good energy about him and I hope we get to see him more, or I should say “more of him” hehe.

Anyway, not really impressed with this American Idol, so hopefully tonight will change my mind. With Simon’s departure after this season, it’ll be even harder for me to watch it so step it up AI or you’re “out”. Speaking of which, I’m out Have a good day guys.

Hi, I've not watched any episode of American Idol this year. However, this weekend Simon Cowell has decided to quit the show and bring X Factor to America.

Good luck LOL

Scorpio, I was thinking the same thing about AI placing "ringers" on the show.

On the other hand, how much do you have to pay somebody to keep their mouth shut for the rest of their life? LOL!

People are crazy, and I'm not too sure that the majority of the auditioners weren't legit.

The guy the panel said sounded like he had 20 people inside of him was real. Scary real! LOL!

I hope green shirt goes far. I liked him a lot! I'll have to learn to remember what his name is.

Jon, tell us about X Factor. I know nothing about that show.

Okay folks, it's time for me to put my two cents worth in. I have watched very few AI episodes since Paul left. I'm not really impressed with it. Still remember growing up and watching American Bandstand. How many of you remember that show?

"Pants on the ground! Pants on the ground!" Thank you General Larry Platt! Song of the night! Right On!

Line of the night: Simon, "That sounded like a cat barking. It shouldn't happen!" LOL!

I liked Jermane, the bridge jumping girl, (she paid $4.50 for her dress at the dollar store, bless her heart) and the girl from South Dakota. The cop was good, too.

I wonder if the BFF are still BFF?

Crap, another week of this stuff? I want to see the good stuff. No wonder Simon got a migraine............

I didn't watch AI at all the first few seasons. Then I watched some of the audition show and was much entertained by the losers without talent, who were pathetic. Especially those who argue with the judges. Boston was very good - with very talented and non talented contestants. The clips suggest Atlanta will be as good as Boston, tomorrow night.

When auditions are fini, that it for the season. I'd rather watch the gay antics on Bravo channel than the singers on AI.

Jon, tell us about X Factor. I know nothing about that show.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X_Factor_(TV_series)


What the link does not say is that the auditions draw hundreds of thousands of contestants from the age of 16-99. The auditions are generally set in major british cities such as London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham and sometimes Belfast. Prior to this year the audition comprised of the constestant singing unaccompanied in a room in front of 4 judges - Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh (Manager of Westlife and Boyzone), Danni Minogue and Cheryl Cole (from brit girl group Girls Aloud). However, in the last series the auditions were in front of a live audience, similar to that of Britains Got Talent which produced Susan Boyle.

The second round of the contest is also in front of a studio audience and they reduce the contestants down to about 50. Then all 50 go to boot camp where they are given mentors based on the categories, Groups, Girls under 25, Boys under 25, and the over 25s (mixed). So each of the 4 judges has a category and mentors them. The judges take their acts to some far away exotic place and then have to decide to reduce their acts down from 6 to 3. That leaves the final 12 which coincides with the 12 weeks before Xmas. In this way the winner is virtually guaranteed a Xmas number 1.

You may well of heard that this year it was different because anti X factor brigade got a group on Facebook and got friends etc to deliberately download "Rage against the Machine" which pipped poor Joe Mcelderry to the number 1 spot. Joe did get nr 1 the following week though.

Hope this helps. xx

This is the worst season yet. So on that note, I have joined the VOTE FOR THE WORST crew. Tim Urban is their pic. He's adorable, he can sing, and he deserves to be there. Crystal Bowersox is the best, but I want Timmeh to make it to at least top 5.

Please vote for Timmeh! 1-866-436-5703. I don't care if you don't watch. Vote!

Just a couple fun pics.....

I hate American Idol, they just seem to strech it on for ever and ever. The audition stage is the only good part... i used to watch it over here but it just soooo bad and painful to watch!
I love the X-factor here in the UK and cannot wait for the American X factor!!

[scorpio]

Tim Urban is just so damn hot. I think this is AI last year, cos people will follow Simon and watch X Factor. Fuck AI anyway, they got rid of my Paula

jon and johnny lol

Well only as long as you can keep up.. My Celine Dion 'I am Alive' is a crowd pleaser!!

 

[parisnoyd]

Lee won?!! Unbelievable! The dude seriously can't sing in tune to save his life. This show is such a joke. The finale had a bunch of the oldies but goodies performing. Even as bad as they sound now, after decades of performing, Lee sounded dreadful with them. America is tone deaf. The dude looks like he is gonna take a crap on stage at any minute.

I'm done with this show. I've been complaining to a co-worker through the whole season. She always told me "Well, you know..." I said I'd put in this much time, and I was going to see it through. Never again. This is the best America has to offer? I don't think so. What a piece of crap show!

Peeps actually pay to watch these "singers" when they are on tour? LOL!
